3 Wheel Buggies 3 wheel buggies offer superb maneuverability in a stylish and streamlined frame. A lot of them come with seats made of fabric that have an incredibly comfortable lie flat bed and perfect weight distribution that is ideal from birth. The wheels are bigger and typically have suspension to ensure smooth, swift moving on different terrains. The only downside is that they can be heavier and bulkier to store and transport. Stability Three wheel buggies are extremely stable and don't tip over as easily as pushchairs that have four wheels when traveling in a straight line and you'll be able to manoeuvre them much more quickly and effortlessly. However, if you try to stop or turn abruptly, they'll lose stability and could tip over. Some manufacturers add an extra wheel to their 3-wheel buggy designs in order to increase the stability of the chassis. The additional wheel also allows you navigate off-road terrain. Look out for models with air-filled tyres (also known as pneumatic tyres) because they can deal with off-road routes and other surfaces including rocks, sand and mud. These models also come with an adjustable wheel that locks on the front, which will increase stability over rough terrain. With the correct design, engineering and weight distribution, these buggies can turn on a dime and are easy to steer with one hand; have 360o front swivel wheels that allow agility and mobility to be effortless and light to handle. They'll also pass the same rigorous global stability standards and tests as 4-wheel buggies. If you're looking for a cloth sling seat, these tend to be placed lower in the frame than modular seats, so that your baby's center of gravity is closer to the ground – instantly delivering a smoother ride and less kerb pop (you do not need to apply as much pressure or effort to lift the buggy over and up the Kerb). Most well-known for its car seats, Maxi-Cosi has recently added an ultra-light pushchair and travel system to its product line with the attractive Citylife. This 3-in-1 is ideal for urban living, and comes with a newborn car seat or carrycot. It has four wheels and an exclusive pewter black aluminium frame, which the company claims is 'light and compact'. It's just 2cm larger than the Babyzen Yoyo. Folding There's a good choice of 3 wheel buggies that fold compactly to fit in smaller space. Many of these buggies can be folded with one hand and are easy-to-clean. Some of the tiniest models come with a simple handlebar height adjustment, while others feature adjustable suspensions and an ultraviolet canopy of 50+ that can be extended. Certain models may come with a large basket and a brake lever that's quick-release. The most reliable 3 wheel buggy for tackling rough terrain A 3-wheeled vehicle is generally better equipped to handle off-road terrain compared to a 4-wheeled model but both can get stuck on tight corners. A model with larger front and rear wheels will assist. This will make it easier to push them over rough terrain, and can aid in getting up and down the steep slopes. The new Roma Atlas has been praised by many for its surprising agility despite its 3-wheeled design. MFM reviewer Kath tested it with her baby, and she said that “it handled really well on bumpy surfaces, cobbles, dirt roads, gravel tracks, and a few hills.” three wheel buggies is the latest all-terrain 3 wheel buggy made by Maxi-Cosi, a car seat manufacturer which is called Stella. It's suitable for babies when used in conjunction with the carrycot. It's a smaller than the light 4wheelers (with an impressively slim frame of 54cm wide) but has big air-filled tyres, three recline positions, and a quick one-hand fold. Its most appealing feature is its modularity, though – it's compatible with all of the brand's infant car seats and strollers. This means that you can design your ideal travel system for day-today or longer walks, using just the chassis as a base. Tyres The tyres for 3 wheel buggies are available in a variety of styles and materials. Each has its own pros and cons. Air-filled tyres, for example, offer an easy ride and excellent maneuverability while foam-filled tires are more durable. The kind of tyre you pick will depend on your lifestyle and where you live. If you intend to travel on unpaved roads or rough terrain often you may think about a three-wheeler equipped with more robust tyres. You should also think about the type of suspension you require. Suspensions that are strong are ideal to deal with humps and bumps but they can be heavy, adding to the overall weight. Another aspect to be considered is the size of the tyre. Understanding how to read the size of the tyre is crucial for safety, performance and durability. The combination of numbers and letters on the tyre's sidewall might seem confusing however, once you understand it, you will be able to understand the dimensions of the tyre. For instance, a tyre size of “185/70 R14 is a sign that the tire is a 185/70 radial with a 14 inch rim diameter. PU tires are lighter and more puncture-resistant than rubber tires. If you are unsure if the tires of a pushchair are rubber or PU, slide the tires on an even surface. If they slide easily, then the tires are made from PU. If they do not then the tires are composed of rubber. Suspension The suspension of a three wheel buggy will make it more comfortable for your child because it absorbs any bumps or knocks from rough terrain. Large wheels that are air-filled, and can be locked to ensure stability when jogging are also crucial. This will enable your buggy to maneuver over off-road surfaces effortlessly. There are a variety of buggy styles to suit every budget and lifestyle. The Mountain Buggy, for example, pioneered all-terrain agility in three-wheel buggies. With perfect geometry and engineering, their fabrics sling seat rests comfortably inside the frame as opposed to on top like modular seats, offering a lower centre of gravity and sitting at the right height for optimal weight distribution, allowing it to easily take on kerb pops. The Urban Glide 2 by Thule is another excellent option. It has an elegant design, a huge wheel that's easy to maneuver and comes with a superb suspension. It also has the twist handbrake to facilitate ease of use. MFM reviewer Kath took this buggy to the test by taking it on an excursion through the rough terrain and she was impressed with how it handled the terrain really well, stating that it 'flies easily over grass, bumpy cobbles, roads, dirt tracks and even makes light work of getting up and down kerbs'. The Roma Atlas is another popular off-road model and, similar to the Urban Glide 2, comes with a variety of colours to complement your style. It also has an adjustable handlebar and a spacious basket. You can also select from a selection of infant car seats that transform the buggy into a pram. This includes the elegantly designed carrycot plus™ which is a cosy lie flat bed for newborns and babies up to 12 months old. Safety Four wheels make the buggy more stable, less likely to tip, and easier to maneuver. It also makes it safer for your child because the weight of their body is evenly dispersed across the frame. A four-wheeled buggy also tends to have a lower centre of gravity and therefore is easier to pop over curbs and up the stairs. The seat made of fabric is within the frame, not sitting on top like modular seats do, which makes for a low-slung seating position, and a lighter buggy that is more easily manoeuvred. If you want to run with your child, a 4-wheeler is the ideal option. It has an suspension system that allows the front wheel of the buggie to be independent from the rear one. This will allow you to tackle rough terrains or bumpy roads. However, not all four wheel buggies are able to be used for running. The exception is Mountain Buggies which have a specially-designed suspension system that has been tested by an independent party across all kinds of terrain.
